hey.. weven i tried to do the same thig.. but it was not working.. iwalso got the same error. i am using red hat linux enterprise...
but then i changed my technique.. i decide to create Ip aliases using a more general approach..

go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
create "ifcfg-eth0-range0" with the following contents

IPADDR_START=172.28.12.100
IPADDR_END=172.28.12.120
CLONENUM_START=0

creates ip aliases in the specified range... i thought this to be a better way of creating ip aliases. this way i can avoid having to set the route for the new aliases
